The round of 16 match between Germany and Demark in the ongoing European Championship 2024 was halted due to heavy storm, accompanied by torrential rain on Saturday.
The game was paused by English referee Michael Oliver at Dormund, while the score stood 0-0 at about 8.33 pm (Nigerian time).
Supporters in exposed seats in the 60,000 crowd were left to seek cover as water poured from the stadium roof as a message on the stadium’s big screen reads, “Due to adverse weather conditions, the game has been suspended. More information to follow.”
The match was later restarted after about 30 minutes.
Earlier, Switzerland shocked defending champions Italy to await winner of England versus Slovakia last 16 match to play in the quarter-final.
